Pearls of wisdom
Comme des Garçons launches a fine jewellery collaboration with a luxury pearl brand Mikimoto.
It might not seem like the most obvious combination, but if there’s one type of jewellery that needs an avant-garde reinvention, it’s the classic pearl necklace. The two Japanese brands have partnered for two years, kicking their dazzling relationship off with a collection of seven pearl necklaces. The classic line of gems has been subtly injected with a youthful spirit thanks to a metal link chain.

This is the first fine jewellery capsule collection for designer Rei Kawakubo, who masterminded the Comme des Garçons label and Dover Street Market. The unisex line, that previewed in Paris earlier this month, will be available from the middle of February at Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market stores worldwide, as well as Mikimoto’s flagship store in Japan.
It seems like many fashion brands are looking to fine jewellery to expand their offering to their customers. Louis Vuitton took it to the next level when it presented the second biggest diamond in the world during couture fashion week in Paris. Gucci and Armani are also focusing more on high jewellery.
